Roman Chamomile Essential Oil – 10ml

An aromatherapy staple, Roman chamomile is a key ingredient in many a homemade skincare and beauty product. With the same calming effects as a cup of chamomile tea, this essential oil is most commonly used to calm anxiety and lift depression.

Roman chamomile essential oil uses

Roman chamomile is one of the oldest essential oils in the aromatherapy kit. It’s a powerful remedy for anyone suffering from low moods and high stress levels, triggering a soothing effect on the brain. Diffuse with lavender essential oil for a powerful aroma that will restore calm to a troubled mind.

Chamomile’s powers are responsible for many a good night’s sleep, and it’s often used alone and in blends to secure a restful night. Place a few drops on your pillow to let the scent prepare your mind for sleep or add to your bath water before bed. You can also dilute chamomile oil with water and create a spray, perfect for spritzing over your bedding.

We often see chamomile used as a natural remedy for digestive issues, thanks to its calming effects on the body. It’s a great oil to diffuse after a meal as it can help to relieve indigestion, stomach cramps, wind and acid reflux. It’s also a natural remedy for nausea and is often used by pregnant women grappling with morning sickness.

Roman chamomile essential oil blends well with other floral oils, such as patchouli, lavender and ylang ylang. For a calming blend with a little punch, try blending it with citrus scents like bergamot.

Roman chamomile essential oil benefits

One of chamomile’s biggest benefits is that its properties keep the skin looking radiant. Chamomile essential oil helps to maintain a smooth, even skin tone and tackles problem areas. With antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, Roman chamomile oil is a powerful tool in any skincare kit. It’s used to treat bruises, rashes, cuts and even eczema.

Those anti-inflammatory properties are also said to work their magic on the pain caused by arthritis. Many sufferers find that topical application of roman chamomile essential oil (always mix with a carrier oil first) relieves joint pain.

Anyone who suffers from hay fever will dread those times of the year when pollen wreaks havoc on the senses. Roman chamomile oil has been linked to the relief of the symptoms of hay fever, including skin irritation, congestion, and itchy eyes. The oil contains antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that help it protect us from the downsides of spring and summer.

One of the things we love most about roman chamomile essential oil is its impact on the spirit. This soothing oil is often recommended to calm fears, creating an emotional boundary to leave us feeling peaceful and secure.
